Description
Holiday - Hangalls Hangers is a unique and cleverly designed recessed hanging system to hang Christmas lights. However, because the hooks can carry up to 10 pounds, depending on the material into which the anchor is fastened, you can also hang plants, windsocks, chimes, bird feeders, and birdhouses—or whatever you want to hang.
The starter kit was originally designed to hang Christmas lights and covers 60-plus linear feet. The package includes 32 recessed nylon anchors, 32 galvanized coated 2 1/4" (1 5/8" exposed once in the anchor) spring steel hooks, 1 recessed anchor driver tool, 1 recessed anchor drill bit, and instructions.
The hooks can carry up to 10 pounds, depending on the material into which the anchor is fastened, so you can hang plants, windsocks, and other items.
All you need to get started is a cordless drill, tape measure, and a pencil and you are on your way to installing a recessed hanging system that will blend into your environment.
If you plan to install the recessed anchors into the edge of the fascia boards, the material needs to be at least 1 1/2 inches thick. If the fascia boards are not thick enough, then install the anchors into the soffit material where the soffit material attaches to the short framing members. To be effective, the recessed anchors must be fastened into solid material so they can carry any type of load.
To fasten lights, space the anchors about 2 feet apart if you are installing the anchors into the center of the fascia boards' edges. However, if you are drilling in soffit material, space the anchors according to the layout of the short framing members, which could be 16-, 19.2-, or 24-inches on center.
Drilling pilot holes for the recessed anchors is easy using their combination drill bit/driver tool. First install the driver tool into the chuck of a cordless drill. Then slide the drill bit over the driver tool. Now drill your pre-measured and marked holes. Be sure to drill the full depth of the drill bit (up to the collar). If your fascia boards or soffit are aluminum or vinyl, slow down the drilling speed until you get through the material. Then before drilling into the wood substrate, check the bit and remove any aluminum or vinyl that may be stuck to it before you continue drilling.
To install the recessed anchors, remove the drill bit by grasping the collar (not the bit itself because it could be hot), pulling it from the driver tool. Now slide an anchor onto the driver tool and insert the anchor into the pilot hole. Using a slow speed, screw the anchor into place, being careful not to overtightened as it could damage the anchor.
Installing the hooks is the simplest part of the whole process. Slide the a hook up into the anchor and turn the hook 90 degrees to allow it to drop down over the center support. To remove, simply push up on the hook and turn it 90 degrees to allow the hook to drop out of the anchor's cavity.
No need to re-hang Christmas lights year after year—and no more staples or nails to fuss with. Holiday Hangers is one system that can blend into your environment, just remove the hooks. Whether you are hanging Christmas lights or a birdhouse, there's no other hanging system that compares to what Holiday - Hangalls Hangers offers!
